2.7.2 Fire prevention


Fires in any environment are extremely dangerous and can quickly get out
of control if not properly dealt with.
The following recommendations will help prevent the likelihood of a fire on
the machine:
• Always keep the machine and general area clean of flammable materials
such as fluids and lubricants, dirt and debris, and any material that could
cause or amplify fire. Clean all fuel or oil spills as quickly as possible.
• Report all electrical wiring and electrical component malfunctions to a
service personnel immediately.
• Ensure that the engine air intake, fuel and exhaust systems are
maintained properly.
• Inspect the machine regularly for hydraulic and oil leaks.
• Ensure that you are aware of and are familiar with all fire fighting
equipment on the machine. Also ensure that all fire fighting equipment is
inspected regularly and kept in working order. If the machine does not
have any fire fighting equipment, ensure that required fire fighting
equipment is available.
2.7.3 Fire retardant and flammable materials
The machine fire safety has been taken into consideration during product
engineering and manufacturing. When possible, fire retardant materials
have been chosen to improve fire safety. Examples of these measures and
material choices to prevent and control fires are the following:
• Cables used are in compliance with the IEC 60332-1 standard (Test on
electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions).
• Surface materials of the hydraulic hoses, cable protective hoses and fire
suppression system (Ansul) hoses are MSHA approved and their inner
tubes are made of nitrile-rubber.
• Switchgears and slip ring unit are mainly made of metal.
• Fire area with fire wall has been made for the diesel engine.
• Roof panels in the cabin are made of fire retardant material.
• Cables in the engine compartment are inside a fireproof sleeve.
In spite of engineering and use of fire retardant materials, there are also
flammable materials in the machine e.g. inside switchgears, in valves,
plastic components, batteries and tires. Also oils, greases and paints used
in the machine are flammable materials. Keep the machine clean at all
times; dirt in the machine increases fire risk.
2.7.4 Fire extinguisher(s)
A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device which is used to
extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations.

2.7.5 FS1000 Fire suppression system (optional)


The FS1000 fire suppression system is installed in the machine for fire
suppression. The system is a fixed foam fire suppression system. Due to
the water content in the foam extinguishing agent, this fire suppression
system is suitable for ambient temperature above 0 °C. The primary
function of the system is to protect the operator. It greatly reduces risk to
people and property by providing effective fire protection and, therefore,
safer operating conditions. The system has been specifically designed to
suppress hydrocarbon fuel oil fires by application of foam extinguishing
agent. The foam will cut the fire's oxygen supply off and act as a vapour
seal over the fuel. The foam's water content cools the area down, which
reduces risk of re-ignition.
The discharge circuit nozzles are arranged in the form of a ring. It consists
of fire rated hose with a series of nozzles aimed at the risk areas.
The system is empty when delivered to the customer and has to be made
operational before it can be used. See separate manufacturer's manual
attached to the Service & Repair Manual for more information.

2.8.3 Dust

DANGER
DUST HAZARD!
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator!

Breathing or inhaling dust particles will cause death or severe injury. Always
work with a respirator approved by the respirator manufacturer for the job
you are doing. It is essential that the respirator that you use protects you
from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may cause
other serious lung diseases. You should not use the product until you are
sure your respirator is working properly. This means the respirator must be
checked to make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and
to otherwise make sure the respirator will protect you in the way it is meant
to.
In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of
the employee, the employer must establish and implement a written
respiratory protection program with work site specific procedures and
elements including but not limited to the selection of respirators, proper
usage, maintenance and care, cleaning and disinfecting and training.
Regularly clean your working environment properly to minimize the dust
level in the air. Always make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and
clothes when you leave your shift.
Respiratory silica dust is a hazard, which requires special attention. The
smallest particles of dust are the most harmful. They may be so fine that
you cannot see them. Remember, you must protect yourself from the
danger of breathing or inhaling dust.
2.8.4 Hazardous gases
In a workplace where hazardous gases are present, the employer must
monitor the air quality, define required actions to protect the employees and
provide protective equipment, such as respirators. The employer is
responsible for ensuring that the safety of employees is not compromised
due to hazardous gases in the environment.
A closed cabin with air conditioning system does not guarantee that the
cabin is free of harmful gases or particles. Wear an approved respirator.

2.8.5 Diesel particulate matter

DANGER
DIESEL EMISSION HAZARD!
Prolonged exposure to diesel emissions will cause death or severe
injury.
Only operate and maintain the equipment according to all applicable
instructions, procedures, laws and regulations.
Always wear approved personal protective equipment.

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a component of diesel exhaust (DE) that


includes soot particles made up primarily of carbon, ash, metallic abrasion
particles, sulfates and silicates. In a confined environment such as
underground or in a workshop, the diesel exhaust particles can not
disperse or be diluted as in an open atmosphere. Exposure to DE/DPM
causes severe long term health effects, in addition to short term effects
such as eye and respiratory irritation.
The end user of this equipment must take additional steps addition to those
provided on the equipment in order to mange this risk. These include, but
are not limited to:
a) Ensure disposable filters are fitted where the equipment is designed to
allow use of these.
b) Ensure ventilation volumes in the areas where this equipment is used
are above those required to maintain the operator exposure rate below
those specified by local regulations or company determined levels.
c) Vehicle movement tracking and control to match the number of vehicles
in a ventilation split the acceptable DPM exposure limit.
d) Implement a monitoring program for worker exposure to DPM
e) Use low emission fuels
f) Establish and maintain a fuel management program to ensure fuel
quality is as high as possible
g) Establish an engine testing program to determine when engine DPM
levels are excessive
h) Establish and maintain a preventive maintenance program to minimise
increased production of DPM by the engine

Responsibilities of the machine operating/maintaining personnel


To reduce your and your colleague's exposure to diesel exhaust, you as the
operator or maintainer must:
• Follow proper operating and driving practices. Keep the engine
revolutions as steady as possible; avoid unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration. Do not lug the engine down.
• Avoid unnecessary idling of the engine.

ID: BG00273035 en-US L.001.1 2017-07-31
Operator's Manual TH430

• If the equipment has a closed cabin, keep the windows closed during
operations. Keep the cabin clean and in good condition. Pay special
attention to the air conditioning unit and to it's filter as well as to the door
and window seals.
• Monitor the information provided by the control system as well as the
indicator lights. If any warning or alarms appear, take corrective action
immediately.
• Maintain the equipment according to the instructions, especially the
engine manufacturer's instructions.
• Follow any site specific procedures and guidelines relating to monitoring
emission levels and trends. Follow also any site specific instructions
relating to means of controlling exposure to diesel emissions.
• Wear approved PPE according to site requirements.

2.9 Emergency procedures


It is the employer’s responsibility to plan and prepare site specific
instructions to be followed in case of an emergency or an accident. The
machine manufacturer can also give certain general guidelines which can
be used as help in establishing the required procedures. The following
information should be considered when devising a site specific emergency
plan. This list is not meant to be comprehensive.
• Emergency stop: If the machine has to be stopped immediately, use the
emergency stop functions. Emergency stopping stops all the ongoing
functions excluding lowering suspension cylinders. For more information,
see the section, "Emergency stop function".
• Emergency exit: In an emergency situation, use the safest escape way
or emergency exit. Also rescue personnel can use these exits to reach a
user in the operator station. For more information, see the section,
"Emergency exit".
• Loss of stability: If there is sudden loss of stability during tramming, the
safest place for the user is usually inside operator station, seated on the
operator seat and seat belt fastened.
• Falling objects: In case of falling objects, the operator should stay inside
operator station until it is safe to leave the machine. The operator may
also, when possible, move the machine away from the hazard zone,
without leaving the operator station.
• Fire: In mining conditions, it is extremely important to avoid fires. If an
accident does happen and there is a fire, it has to be extinguished as
soon as possible. For more information, see the section, "Fire risk control
measures".
• Accidents with chemicals: In an emergency situation or accident where
chemicals are involved, see the required first aid measures and
instructions in the material safety data sheets.
• Electric accidents: If the machine touches an electric power line, the
following instructions may prevent injuries or death.

Operator's Manual TH430

- If you are standing outside the machine, do not touch any part of the
machine or try to get onto the machine. Keep everybody away from
the machine.
- If you are on the machine, do not try to get off it. If the machine is
touching a power line, the machine can catch on fire. If the machine
has rubber tires, leave the machine as soon as the tires start
smoking. JUMP OUT! Do not make yourself a conductor for the
electric current to flow from the machine to the ground. Move away
from the machine by jumping, or by leaping so that only one foot at a
time touches the ground. The electric field in the ground can cause a
dangerously high voltage between your legs. You will not be in safety
until you are about 20 meters away from the machine.
- If some component of the machine touches an electric power line,
the whole machine becomes live. Although the insulating rubber tires
may make the situation seem safe, a person standing on the ground
and touching the machine can get a fatal electric shock. Machine
needs to be isolated at least for 24 hours before taking any actions to
the machine.
- If you come to a place where an electric accident has taken place, do
not risk your own life by acting incautiously to save others. Try to find
out whether a high or a low voltage is involved. Where high voltage is
involved, do not start any rescuing attempts until the power company
has cut off the voltage. It can be dangerous even to approach a
person in contact with the electric conductor, or with the machine that
touches the conductor. Remember that high voltage power lines
have no fuses that blow; the conductors are always dangerous, until
a qualified electrician has made them dead.
- If a person is in contact with a low voltage line or with a machine that
is touching a low voltage line, rescuing can be attempted by using a
dry and clean rope, or a dry and unpainted piece of wood. Anyone
who is attempting the rescue must keep as far away from the victim
as possible. The victim must not be touched until he is completely
disconnected from the live components. If the victim is unconscious,
first aid measures must be started immediately.
After an accident or emergency situation: Being on site where an
incident has occurred, do not take any actions with the equipment involved.
Do not speculate or give opinions on the cause. Contact your Sandvik
representative to get more information.

2.10.3 Tire maintenance

Working with inflated tires and multi-piece wheel rims


Due to the high inflation pressures applied to multi-piece wheel rims, tire
and wheel rim assemblies house enormous amounts of energy. If this
energy is handled improperly, the tire and wheel rim assemblies have the
potential to explode or release air suddenly, possibly causing death or
severe personal injury to those in the area. By reading this section
thoroughly and following your local mine site standards, the risk of this
danger occurring can be reduced.

DANGER
EXPLOSION AND FLYING MATERIAL HAZARD!
During handling the full pressurized tire may burst and will cause
severe injury or material damage.
A broken rim part under pressure can fly apart and will cause severe
injury.
Tire inflation must always be done inside a tire cage. Do not stand in
front of the wheel during tire inflation. Use an extension hose, so
that you are able to stand to one side.
Never remove, move or store a tire that is inflated to full
pressurization.

When excess pressure is applied to a tire, it has the potential to explode or


release air suddenly out from its sides. It is important for all persons in the
area of tires to stand outside the area of trajectory.

Operator's Manual TH430

Safe maintenance procedures


Each person involved in servicing the wheel rim assemblies should be
familiar with the following before any maintenance is performed:
1. Always deflate the tire and then remove its valve core before removing
the wheel rim assembly from the axle.
2. Always apply rubber lubricant to the bead and rim mating surfaces during
assembly of the tire and rim, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the tire
manufacturer.
3. Always de-mount tires from the wheel rims before repairs are made to
the rims.
4. Always inflate tires using a restraining device and remote inflation
equipment. Tires should only be inflated outside of the restraining device
if:
• The rim is mounted to the vehicle and the tire is already inflated more
than 80% (as recommended in the "Tire and Rim Safety Awareness
Program" document published by the Mine Safety and Health
Administration in 1996).
• Inflation is required to hold the tire bead onto the rim ledge and
create an airtight seal with the tire and bead.
5. After inflation, always inspect the tire and rim assembly while it is in the
restraining device to ensure it is properly seated and locked. If
adjustments are necessary, deflate the tire before the adjustments are
made.
6. Never install a tube in a tubeless tire.
7. Never weld or cut in the proximity of inflated tires.
8. Never allow equipment or any part of your body to rest or lean against
the restraining device during tire inflation.
9. Never hammer, strike, or force the lock ring into the correct seating while
the tire is pressurized.
10. Never rework, weld, braze, or otherwise heat any cracked, broken, or
damaged wheel rim component.
11. Never apply heat to a multi-piece wheel rim.
12. Never stand or allow others to stand in the area of trajectory of a multi-
piece rim assembly unless the purpose of which can be proven to be
absolutely necessary.
13. Never inflate the tire until the entire lock ring is fully seated in the rim
assembly.
14. Never mismatch wheel rim components. All wheel rim components
should be the same size, type, and from the same manufacturer.
15. Never re-inflate a flat tire without first inspecting the entire wheel rim
assembly for unsafe conditions.

Recommended tools
• Air pressure gauge with filter
• Inflation tool (clip-on chuck, hose, and in-line valve or preset regulator)
• Air compressor
• Valve core removers and reamers
• Spare valve caps
• Valve cap wrenches
• Tire restraining device or other suitable restraining device
Note! Release a small amount of air from the inflation valve before
applying the air gauge. This will prevent air from clogging the gauge
assembly.

Note! All pressure gauges should be tested against a master gauge.

Note! Do not use steel hammers on rim assemblies. Use only rubber, lead,
plastic, or brass head hammers so as not to damage rim
components.

Tire handling recommendations

DANGER
HANGING LOAD HAZARD!
Accidental falling of a hanging load on people will cause death or
severe injury.
Never stand under or near a hanging load. Always use a suitable
lifting device with adequate lifting capacity.

1. Always use a suitable lifting device capable of supporting the weight of


the tire.
2. Always use flat straps when lifting tires. Do not lift tires directly with a
crane hook.
3. When using a forklift, lift the tire with the forks underneath the tread. Do
not lift the tire from the bead.
4. When available, use specialized tire handling equipment.
• When using special equipment, be careful not to hold the tire too
tightly. This will distort the shape of the tire.
5. If supplied, leave bead protectors in place until the tire is to be mounted
to a rim.

2.11.3 Disposal
This section gives useful advice to identify which parts of the product are
recoverable, with a view to recycling or reusing the materials or
components for new applications. To ensure environmentally sound
treatment of a product and all of its components, the recovery issues are
already taken into account during the design phase of the product. Correct
handling of waste materials reduces costs and promotes the best use of the
components and materials.
• Machine body: All the steel constructions and the copper and aluminum
in the electrical wiring are recyclable. The metals can be melted and
used as raw material for new products, except for parts that have been in
contact with substances that are regarded as hazardous waste. The
contaminated parts can usually be simply cleaned or rinsed, after which
they can be recycled.
• Plastic: Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each
plastic part carries information on the material used and a manufacturing
date, which can be used for determining whether the part can be
recycled.
• Rubber parts and tires: Tires can be recycled, and used as recovered
material. Worn-out tires can be returned to the dealer from whom they
were originally bought. Rubber tubes and hoses must be cleaned before
they are disposed of.
• Glass: Glass can be recycled, as well as laminated glass such as
windshields and windows. Various types of glasses shall be sorted
according to local rules and regulations.
• Electrical and electronic waste: Electrical and electronic components
contain valuable and recyclable materials, and in addition a set of
chemicals and heavy metals. Electrical components that are classified as
hazardous waste (accumulators, batteries, circuit boards) and other
hazardous waste must be delivered to a licensed waste treatment
location or be disposed of according to local regulations. Never dump
hazardous electrical or electronic waste.
• Gas discharge / xenon lamps: Gas discharge lamps contain mercury
and are hazardous waste. They must not be dumped. Lamps must be
taken care of by an authorized hazardous waste disposal company.
• Air conditioning units: Air conditioning units, which contain CFC and
HCFC compounds, must always be delivered for treatment to a licensed
waste disposal facility.

100 (270) Copyright © Sandvik


ID: BG00273035 en-US L.001.1 2017-07-31
Operator's Manual TH430

• Batteries: Batteries are classified as environmentally hazardous material


and require special handling and storing in accordance with applicable
ordinances, rules and regulations. Batteries can cause serious harm to
the ecosystem; lead in the batteries is highly toxic and it accumulates in
the body over time. The disposal shall be taken care of by an authorized
waste disposal company. According to producer responsibility, producers
of batteries and accumulators are also responsible to accomplish the
waste management of batteries that they have placed on the market.
Batteries also contain diluted sulphuric acid. The acid is extremely
corrosive and it burns skin, eats holes in clothing, and can cause
blindness if it gets in the eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin, or
clothes, rinse them immediately with water. Use sodium bicarbonate to
neutralize the acid. If it gets in the eyes, flush the eyes with water, and
call a doctor.
• Oils and fluids: Oil waste must not be disposed of by burning, and
under no circumstances must oil be poured down the drain or into water
systems. Waste oil shall be collected in appropriate containers. The best
containers for collecting oil waste are the original containers for the oils.
The original containers already have the necessary warning labels, are
easy to close, and can be moved around fairly easily. Always strike out
the product name on the label and clearly label the container "oil waste".
Empty oil containers must not be dumped in landfills without having been
cleaned. Cleaned plastic containers can be disposed of as regular waste.
Most countries have arranged a recycling system for metal barrels.
Greases, fuels, solvents, and other substances must not be mixed with
oil waste.
• Solid waste containing oil: Oil filters, oil rags, fuel filters, and oil
absorbents must be collected in a separate container.
• Solvents and oil trap sludge: Solvents and sludge that has collected on
the surface of the oil traps can both be collected in a same container. The
surface layer in the oil traps must be removed regularly, and the entire
trap must be drained at least once a year, including the sludge at the
bottom. Do not mix the oil trap sludge with oil waste.
• Fuel oil: Fuel oil is hazardous waste that must in all cases be processed
by an authorized waste treatment plant.
• Radiator, brake, and clutch fluids: Used radiator, brake, and clutch
fluids contain traces of heavy metals, zinc, and copper, for which reason
they must not be poured down the drain or mixed with oil waste. They are
to be collected in a separate, labeled container and delivered to the same
plants as the oil waste.

2.12 Potential product related hazards identified by the user


Sandvik has taken all necessary precautions to design a safe machine. If,
in spite of these efforts, you observe a hazard for which you believe there

9. Parking brake control


Pushing the button down engages the wheel/parking brakes. Brakes
engage automatically, if
• Electric current is cut off
• Emergency stop is activated
• Engine stops
• Door is open
• Hydraulic oil level too low
• Brake oil level too low
• Accumulator pressure for the brakes too low
• Transmission oil pressure too low
• Gear in neutral with 3 seconds delay (Neutral brake, standard)
To release the brakes pull the three position button fully up and release it to
the centre position (engine must be running and brake system pressure
high enough).

10. Electric retarder (Telma, optional)


Using the Telma retarder saves you from having to make systematic use of
your service brakes, which therefore remain cold, available and efficient in
situations in which they are really needed - stopping the truck, emergency
braking, helping the retarder for speed control etc.

108 (270) Copyright © Sandvik


ID: BG00273035 en-US L.001.1 2017-07-31
Operator's Manual TH430

The electric retarder is controlled with a control switch on the dashboard.


There are four different retarding effects available:
• 1 = 25 %
• 2 = 50 %
• 3 = 75 %
• 4 = 100 %
Note! Positions 1 and 2 for continuous braking, positions 3 and 4 for
momentarily use.

When the electric retarder is active, VCM display shows the retarding effect
per cent.
Telma activates automatically by releasing the accelerator pedal and vice
versa (when the clutch is activated).
It is advisable to maintain the first or second position when driving with load
in long downgradients. Positions 3 and 4 can be used momentarily when
greater breaking force is needed. Using the 3rd or 4th positions longer
periods causes the retarder to overheat.
If the retarder temperature reaches 200 °C, a warning will appear in the
display. If the temperature reaches 300 °C, the retarder will automatically
be disengaged (will add a file to the error log).
Note! The retarder is not a parking brake. Put the lever to the zero position
as soon as the machine has stopped to avoid overheating and
unnecessary electricity consumption.

Back pressure alarm


To avoid engine or filter failure, DPF system is equipped with an automatic
on-board diagnostic system. The diagnostic system continuously monitors
the condition (especially the back-pressure reading) of the DPF. In case of
DPF failure, the system gives a light and sound warning. In cases where
the back pressure remains higher than 200 mbar for more than 5 seconds,
a light and sound alarm will go off. Once the alarm is ON, the alarm LED
will remain ON even if the power is turned OFF. You need to push the
RESET button on the data logger unit to turn off the alarm.
Information about LED:s and actions required by them is in the following
table:

3.6.2 Circuit breakers descriptions and values


Circuit breakers in instrument panel and boxes X221 and X256 protect
electric items in the case of overload or short circuit. Circuit breakers
cannot be held in the ON position against overload by force. If circuit
breaker, after it has triggered, cannot be switched to ON position again, the
triggering is probably caused by overload. If the circuit breaker trips again
immediately when trying to close it, a complete short-circuit or earth
connection can be assumed. Do not try continuously re-close circuit
breaker if there is an existing short circuit, earth fault, or fault in wiring or
some component. In that case the electrical wiring and components must
be examined. Triggering of the circuit breaker can be caused also, for
example, temporary and/or transient disturbance in electricity distribution.
In that case, the circuit breaker is reset and the situation monitored in order
to determine whether the disturbance is recurring. Circuit breaker blown
gives separate alarm in the display.

4. Use electric retarder or exhaust brake if available on the unit.


Correct use of the retarder and the engine brake saves the service
brakes from wearing and overheating.
For more information refer to the chapter Using retarder when driving on
a downgrade.
4.2.3 Neutral brake system

The neutral brake system prevents movement of the machine while the
transmission is in neutral.
The neutral brake system applies the parking brake when the transmission
has been in neutral for a time period defined with a parameter (the default
value is 3 seconds). A window appears on the display informing that the
neutral brake system is activated. This system is not activated when the
brake pedal is pressed (the brake lights are lit).
When the transmission is in neutral, the parking brake will be automatically
engaged if the operator does not perform one of the following actions within
the time period set with a parameter:
• Select a transmission gear.
• Press the brake pedal.
When the operator releases the parking brake, a gear must be selected
within the time period set in the parameter. The neutral brake system is
released in the same way as the parking brake.

4.3 Parking

Driving on an upgrade with auto gear

In auto gear mode, the converter lock up function is enabled as default and
the converter is physically locked when certain system conditions are met.
1. Select the highest possible gear with gear selector, according to the
driving conditions.
• The auto gear system will select the most suitable gear within
selected gear range, but the system will shift to higher gear only if
the throttle pedal is pressed over 90%.
2. Control the gear shifting moment with the accelerator pedal.
• For example when approaching a steep upgrade it is not advisable to
change to higher gear for momentarily and then back to lower gear.
• If the throttle pedal is eased a little over 10% (from full throttle) or the
gear selector is used to define the lower gear range, the auto gear
system will not shift momentarily to higher gear.
• If the system is continuously changing gears up and down it is
advised to select the lower gear range with the gear selector. This is
to ensure smooth driving instead of continuous gear shifting.
3. Monitor the VCM-system display and the instrument panel to ensure that
the normal machine operating conditions exist.

2. Ensure the selected gear allows the unit to be operated within an engine
rev range where the machine will achieve and maintain automatic
converter lock up function.
• Above 1800 RPM to achieve lock up
• Above 1050 RPM to maintain lock up
• The lock up system disconnects the lock up when gear is changed,
and connects the lock up automatically again if the system conditions
are met.
• If the auto lock system can not achieve lock up, it is indicating the
selected gear is one gear too high. Select lower gear.
• If the engine revolutions drop below 1050 rpm when driving with
manual gear mode, shift to lower gear. Or if the converter lock up
system is on, select lower gear if the lock up disengages.
3. Select such a gear, which provides the conditions where the unit is in
total control and it can be operated in a safe and responsible manner.
4. Pay attention to the converter temperature. Converter temperature during
hauling MUST NOT exceed 120 °C.
5. Monitor the VCM-system display and the instrument panel to ensure that
the normal machine operating conditions exist.

4.4.3 Downhill driving


Crushing hazard. Can cause severe injury or death. Excessive use of
the brakes in downhill driving could result in overheating of the
brakes. Overheated brakes are a big safety risk due to significant
reduction in the brake force.

Rolling downhill with gear in the neutral position is absolutely


forbidden due to uncontrolled speed and overheating of brakes.

Note!
Pay attention to the gradient angle of the hill. Do not exceed the
specificate maximum angles.

Action to be taken:
• Make sure that the brake test is done according to the instructions in the
manual at least at the beginning of each shift.
• Follow gauge readings or warnings / alarms from the VCM-system
related to the temperature and brake pressure.
If any abnormal reading or alarm occurs, react immediately by shutting
down the machine as soon as possible to allow for urgent maintenance.
• Always use the proper gears for driving.
When driving downhill, select such a gear that you can control the
machine without excessive use of the brakes.
As a general rule of thumb, when driving downhill, select the same gear
that you would use if driving uphill.
• Use the torque converter lock-up if available whenever possible.
• Use electric retarder or exhaust brake if available on the unit.
• Do not “rest” your foot on the brake pedal because it causes engine
brake heating and wear in the brake system.
If the brakes are overheated the brake force might be lost!

Driving on a downgrade with auto gear


Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal because it causes warming
and unnecessary wear in the brake system.

Note! Remember to control the engine revolutions while driving a


downgrade. Overreving the engine probably causes the engine to
break down.

Note! Insufficient throttle position may result in transmission overheat!

1. Select the highest gear so that the engine revs stay close to the
maximum.
• This ensures the hydraulic pump output is big enough for steering
and cooling systems.
2. Control the gear shifting moment with the accelerator pedal.
• The auto gear system doesn’t shift to higher gear until the
accelerator pedal is pressed almost fully down (90 %).
3. Monitor the VCM - system display and the instrument panel to ensure the
normal machine operating conditions exist.
• The auto gear system blinks a warning light if the engine is close to
overrev.
• If the engine overrevs the warning light is continuously on and there
is a warning on the display.

1. Use the torque converter lock-up whenever possible.


• When changing gear (up or down) the converter lock-up disengages
automatically, but will be engaged automatically when the conditions
are fulfilled.
• The torque converter lock-up engages when the engine revs are
close to the maximum and the difference between the engine/torque
converter revolutions is less than 500 rpm.
• The lock-up disengages automatically if the engine rev drops low
enough. Lower with the throttle pedal pressed or a bit higher if the
throttle pedal is not pressed.
• When using high gears with the converter while driving (driving
without the lock-up) on a downgrade the power flows from the
transmission to the converter causing fast heating of the
transmission oil. This is very damaging to the converter. Check the
transmission oil temperature.
• Otherwise the driving is done as in the chapter “Driving on a
downgrade with auto gear”.
2. Always use the proper gears for driving.
• When driving downhill, select such a gear that you can control the
machine without excessive use of brakes.
• As a general rule of thumb, when driving downhill, select the same
gear that you would use if driving uphill and if possible use converter
lock-up.
3. Monitor all indicators and VCM-system display to ensure normal machine
operating conditions exist.

Using retarder when driving on a downgrade (optional)


The auto gear system gives a warning with a blinking light if the engine is
close to overrev. If the engine overrevs (the warning light is on and the
display gives a warning) the retarder applies automatically with full power.
When the engine rev drops low enough the retarder will automatically shut
down or go to the position where it was before the engine was overreving.
For example, when driving a downgrade with 4th gear and the engine revs
are rising close to the maximum, connect the retarder. If the engine revs
are still rising, use the service brakes to slow down the speed and select a
lower gear with the gear selector.
Correct use of the retarder saves the service brakes from wearing and
overheating.

Electric retarder, Telma (option)

The electric retarder is controlled with a control switch on the dashboard.


There are four different retarding effects available:
• 1 = 25%
• 2 = 50%
• 3 = 75%
• 4 = 100%
When the switch is activated Telma activates automatically by releasing the
accelerator pedal and vice versa
Note! Positions 1 and 2 for continuous braking, positions 3 and 4 for
momentarily use.

When the electric retarder is active, VCM display shows the retarding effect
per cent.
It is advisable to maintain the first or second position when driving with load
in long downhill. Positions 3 and 4 can be used momentarily when greater
breaking force is needed. Using the 3rd or 4th positions longer periods
causes the retarder to overheat.
If the retarder temperature reaches 200°C, a warning will appear in the
display. If the temperature reaches 300°C, the retarder will automatically be
disengaged (will add a file to the error log).

Faulty seat belt does not provide adequate protection in an accident,
which could result in death or severe impact injuries.
Check the seat belt condition before every working shift. If any
malfunction occurs or visual damage can be noticed, replace the
seat belt immediately with a new one.

After any accident or collision, replace the seat belt. In any case, Sandvik
recommends to replace the seat belt once a year or every 5000 hours,
which ever comes first.
1. Check anchor points of seat belt.
2. Inspect seat belt for fraying or wearing.
3. Check seat belt retraction. Pull the belt out slowly to check for smooth
action.
• There should not be any sticking, which might indicate a faulty
retractor.
4. Check seat belt locking. Pull the belt out quickly to see that it locks and
releases.
• The belt should lock when pulled suddenly, which is vital during
emergency braking or collisions.
5. Fasten belt locking mechanism and try to pull the locked sections apart.
• The belt should not release, which is vital during emergency braking
or collisions.
6. Operate the release mechanism while pulling on the belt to check that
the mechanism releases when required.

5.2.12 Check diesel particulate filter (DPF) back pressure reading (If equipped)
The easiest way to check the condition of the DPF is to measure the back
pressure reading. DPF can stay in its place and only the pressure value
reading from the data logger unit is needed.
1. Set the data logger so, that the back pressure value is visible (usually set
as default).
• If pressure value is not visible, use the MENU (1) and SET (2)
buttons to navigate to the view showing the pressure value (3).

2 1

2. Read the back pressure value.


• Run the engine at high idle speed without load.
• Read the back pressure value from the display of the data logger.
3. Perform actions depending on the pressure value.

ID: BG00273035 en-US L.001.1 2017-07-31
Operator's Manual TH430

1. Wash the machine thoroughly if it comes directly from use, or if it has


been transported by sea (use high pressure washer or steam).
2. Lubricate all greasing points.
3. Empty the pressure accumulators and place warning signs on the
machine: ’Pressure accumulators must be filled before using the
machine’.
4. Apply protective grease to the piston rods of the cylinders.
5. Change all lubricants and fluids.
6. Check engine air filter and service if necessary.
7. Protect electric devices with corrosion inhibitor to prevent contact
failures.
8. Disconnect batteries.
9. Apply protective grease to the following points:
• terminal strips
• battery terminals
• multipole connectors
• connectors at caps of magnetic valves, pressure switches, etc. Fill
the caps with grease.

6.5 Operation in cold weather


If the temperature is below 0 °C, clear off ice from all steps and handles of
the machine.
Because the machine is intended to operate in underground mining
conditions, its engine, transmission and hydraulic systems are filled with
oils suitable for these conditions. However, in cold conditions they may
thicken. This makes starting difficult and may damage the torque converter
and hydraulic pumps. For this reason, avoid any temporary parking in frosty
weather. If the machine will work in very cold or very hot conditions, see the
Maintenance manual for the correct oils and the engine manufacturer's
instruction manual for the proper fuel.
Starting aids such as preheating engine and hydraulic oil are recommended
in temperatures below -10 °C.
Be aware that starting the engine in cold conditions may require multiple
attempts.

The purpose of the arctic package is to preheat essential systems of the
machine before starting in cold climate conditions. The arctic package
includes heaters for the engine, the hydraulic oil and the gearbox.

Plug an external electric cable to the electric plug at the right side of the
machine to activate the arctic package heaters. The system typically has
the following heaters:
• a 1500W heater for the engine
• a 2000W heater for the hydraulic oil tank
• 2 x 400W heating pads for the gearbox
• Suction air grid heater to preheat combustion air (not activated with the
plug, only active when the engine is running and based on conditions)

Depending on the climate conditions, the machine may also be equipped


with additional heaters and related components. Extra insulation and
covers might also be installed. The following are some examples of
additional heating equipment:
• Urea heater system based on coolant circulation in the urea tank (if
equipped with an urea system)
• External engine coolant heater on the cylinder block to improve engine
heating
• Fuel prefilter with a heater
• Battery preheater
• Electric primer pump for fuel
• Double alternator or larger alternator to ensure electric supply for the
heating systems that are connected to the electric system of the machine
• Increased cable size between the battery and the starter motor
• Exhaust system insulation
• Urea tank insulation (if equipped with an urea system)
